“Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein,” the statement said. “Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status.”

The New York Times broke the story on Friday about the fallen Hollywood mogul. The investigative report said the Oscar-winning producer settled at least eight sexual harassment complaints over the past three decades. Several more alleged victims have come forward since Friday.

Weinstein has been a major donor to Democrats. According to The Hill, he contributed more than $5,000 to Obama for America and more than $66,000 to the Obama Victory Fund in 2012. He also hosted or co-hosted fundraisers for the former president that raked in huge donations.

Critics blasted the Obamas and Clintons for their silence after revelations surfaced of Weinstein’s alleged sexual misconduct.

Chris Cillizza, writing for CNN, observed on Tuesday that “neither Bill or Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has said a single word about the incidents.”

He updated his post to note that Hillary Clinton released a statement after his article appeared. In the statement, Clinton said she “was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein.”

In Honor Of Barack H. Obama Highway, Here Are Photos That Will Make You Miss Your Favorite President

The people of Los Angeles are blessed to have President Barack H. Obama Highway as of yesterday. The Mercury News reports, "Two large, green-and-white freeway signs were unveiled Thursday, one on the right shoulder of westbound State Route 134 at the beginning of the 210 Freeway at Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena, the other at the eastbound 134 in the vicinity of Route 2 in the city of Los Angeles near Glendale."

The location was chosen because he attended Occidental College in nearby Eagle Rock from 1979-1981 when he lived in Pasadena. State Sen. Anthony Portantino said about the highway, “The president has often mentioned his fond memories of living in Pasadena and attending Occidental College, so it was very appropriate to name the portion of the freeway he traveled after him."
Mercury News confirmed, "No taxpayer dollars were used to build or erect the signs, Bischoff confirmed, adding that the cost of the two signs and labor amounted to about $5,000 and were paid for by private donations."
While this happened, something else trended -- #TrumpResign. Yep, while people were celebrating Obama, others were asking for Trump to get off the highway of the presidency.
All of this makes us miss Obama, so we had to revisit these collection of photos to reflect when we had a man of decency in the White House.
